👃 The Secret of “Ghunnah”
Not all Shaddahs are equal. Watch out for N & M!
Example: “In…na” (Not Inna!)
Example: “Tab-ba” (Firm Hit)
💡 Golden Tips for Lesson 13
1. Don’t “Trill” the Raa ( رّ )
When Raa has Shaddah, simply hold the tongue to the roof of the mouth firmly. Do NOT let it vibrate like a motor (Rrrr). Just one strong “Arr”.
2. The “Lips” in Damma ( ـُّ )
For words like ( قُوَّةٍ ), ensure your lips make a full circle for the Damma, then open, then circle again. Lazy lips = Wrong sound.
3. Istilla (Heavy Letters)
When heavy letters (ص – ط – ق) have Shaddah, they must be Extra Heavy. Fill your mouth with the sound, e.g., ( صَدَّقَ ).

💬 Common Questions About Lesson 13
Mastering the Shaddah Exercises.
What is the difference between Lesson 12 and 13?
Lesson 12 taught the concept of Shaddah using simple 2-letter words. Lesson 13 applies it to real Quranic words that are longer and more complex.
Why are Noon and Meem Red?
Because they carry the rule of Ghunnah (Nasal Sound). When they have Shaddah, you must hold the sound in your nose for 2 counts.
How do I pronounce (لِلَّٰهِ)?
This is the name of Allah. Since it is preceded by a Kasra (Li), the Lam becomes Light (Thin). Read it as “Lil-laa-hi”, not “Lil-law-hi”.
Can I bounce the Shaddah letters?
Absolutely not! Shaddah is about Grip and Pressure. Bouncing (Qalqalah) breaks the grip. Hold the letter firm, then release it.
What does “Without Hijja” mean?
It means reading the word instantly (e.g., “Saddaqa”) without spelling it out (“Sad Fatha Dal Shaddah…”). Lesson 13 is where fluency begins.
Why is (تَوَّابًا) difficult?
Because of the Waw. You must circle your lips for the Waw, but keep the timing of the Shaddah. It requires lip coordination.
How to read Tanween with Shaddah?
Just like any Shaddah, but the ending sound is “N”. Example: حُبًّا is read “Hub-ban”. Grip the Ba, release into ‘an’.
Strength Unlocked! 🔓
Great job! You have mastered the ability to add “Weight” to your letters using Shaddah. Your recitation is now becoming strong and rhythmic, just like the Quran should be read.
